FOREWORD
The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides
planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies
to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance
with USD (AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and
work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is
also governed by Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction
Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.)
Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the most stringent of the UFC, the
SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable.
UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to
users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military
construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities
Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) are
responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the
preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is
the responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting
rationale should be sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic
form: Criteria Change Request. The form is also accessible from the Internet sites listed below.
UFC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following

UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC)
NEW SUMMARY SHEET
Document: UFC 3-810-01N, Navy and Marine Corps Environmental Engineering for
Facility Construction
Superseding: UFC 3-800-10N, Final Draft, Environmental Engineering for Facility
Construction.
Description: This UFC provides specific criteria on environmental engineering design
topics as they relate to project development of demolition, renovation and site
development projects. In these situations, it is primarily intended to address hazardous
waste management. It is organized into technical requirements and design
deliverables. Requirements for design deliverables beyond or in more detail of what is
already required by a Core UFC or by FC 1-300-09N and are provided for NAVFAConly.
Reasons for Document:
•
Provide criteria for meeting Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
standards, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements, and other
Federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
•
Provide technical requirements for hazardous waste field investigation and
design criteria in the development of reports, specifications, and drawings.
•
Establish minimum technical requirements and deliverables, including
environmental reports, specifications and drawings, in support of design
activities.
•
Define minimum requirements for specifications and contract drawings as they
relate to hazardous materials.
Impact: By providing standardized criteria for the identification of hazardous materials
during design it is expected that construction schedules and cost for change orders will
be reduced by having adequate hazardous waste information included in the contract
documents during the bidding process.
Unification Issues: Requirements in this FC conform to Navy instructions and
manuals. These requirements include NAVY specific requirements that have not been
unified. These Navy requirements may not work for Army and Air Force operations
because of their organizational and operational differences.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1-1
BACKGROUND.
Environmental Engineering combines the principles of engineering and science to
protect the environment, preserve resources, and enhance public health. Congress has
enacted various acts to improve or protect the natural environment, clean up polluted
sites, and protect human health by providing requirements for drinking water,
wastewater management, clean air, and various other issues that affect public health.
This legislation establishes conditions requiring Federal agencies to implement projects
in a manner that maintains or enhances the environment and public health.
1-2
PURPOSE AND SCOPE.
This document provides technical criteria and outlines technical requirements for the
more typical aspects of the Environmental Engineering. It is not intended to cover all
aspects of Environmental Engineering. It is primarily intended for building demolition
and building renovation projects. It does introduce other topics such as cultural
resources preservation, wetlands protection, and remediation of contaminated soil and
groundwater. While topics such as contaminated soil and groundwater are introduced,
this UFC is not intended to cover the remediation of all hazardous materials. Where
remediation of specific hazardous materials not covered in this criteria is warranted,
contact the appropriate Environmental Engineering media manager. Many of these
topics are considered during the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process.
This UFC assumes that appropriate NEPA actions have been accomplished prior to
committing resources to any proposed activity. Many facilities were constructed with
materials that are now considered hazardous to worker safety and the environment.
Removal and disposal of these materials requires a complex analysis of Federal, state,
and local regulations to determine the appropriate methods for removing and disposing
of these hazardous materials. Use this UFC to determine the minimum environmental
engineering design requirements. State and local regulations may be more stringent.
Where other state or local criteria regulatory requirements exist, comply with the more
stringent requirements.
1-3
APPLICABILITY.
This UFC applies to all military service elements and contractors involved in the
planning, design, and construction of Navy and Marine Corps facilities worldwide.
1-4
GENERAL BUILDING REQUIREMENTS.
Comply with UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements. UFC 1-200-01 provides
applicability of model building codes and unique government criteria for typical design
disciplines and building systems, as well as for accessibility, antiterrorism, security, high
performance and sustainability requirements, and safety. Use this UFC in addition to
UFC 1-200-01 and other UFCs and Government criteria referenced therein.

building materials regardless of the age of the existing construction. For Federal
requirements, refer to http://www2.epa.gov/asbestos/building-owners-andmanagers#renovations. Data from previous asbestos surveys may be available from the
Installation EV staff. Earlier surveys may not have included all suspect RACM that will
be impacted by the project. This may include, but is not limited to, roofing materials,
crawl-space soils, and confined utility chases. Provide personnel who are currently
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accredited asbestos inspectors to perform
ACM sampling.
2-5.2
Laboratory – Asbestos.
Use laboratories that are fully equipped and proficient in conducting analyses of suspect
RACM bulk samples in accordance with 40 CFR 763, are accredited by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology/National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation
Program (NITS/NV LAP), and are a successful participant and maintain proficiency in
the NITS/NV LAP sponsored quality assurance program for asbestos identification.
2-5.3
Control of Regulated Asbestos-Containing Materials.
Federal law defines demolition activities and renovation activities, and establishes
different requirements for each one. Identify what requirements apply to the project,
based on the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
compliant survey, and prepare specifications that describe the applicable RACM control
methods, notification requirements, and workers’ minimum certification requirements.
Before beginning any demolition or renovation activities, determine the potential for
releasing asbestos. NESHAP classifies RACM into three categories: friable, Category I
nonfriable, and Category II nonfriable. Identify which categories apply to the project and
remove the RACM following the applicable control methods. Identify which non-friable
RACM have a potential to become friable during demolition and renovation activities
and remove the materials following friable control methods. Identify the requirements
for notification to the regulatory agency and include in the specifications.

ANIMAL DROPPINGS.
2-10.1
Conducting Field Investigations and Surveys – Animal Droppings.
Testing soil and air samples for Histoplasma is not likely to be useful because the
fungus is thought to be common in the environment in certain areas, and positive or
negative results in soil samples does not mean the soil is a source of infection or that
the fungus is not there. Treat soils, buildings, or other areas with bat droppings or bird
manure as containing the Histoplasma virus. Use best practice document DHHS 2005109 when conducting surveys or preparing specification for building renovation,
alteration, or demolition projects. Do not stir up dust by sweeping or vacuuming areas
containing rodent droppings or nesting material as it may contain Hantavirus. Use
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cleaning up after rodents for cleanup
requirements. http://www.cdc.gov/rodents/index.html

WASTE.
CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF SOLID AND HAZARDOUS
Disposal or ultimate disposition of waste materials is performed on all projects. Waste
reduction in the form of recycling or reuse is encouraged. Require the Contractor to
develop a waste management and reduction plan to be used during construction.
Coordinate with the Installation EV staff and identify materials suitable for recycling or
reuse, taking into account the Installation’s recycling program. If disposal or ultimate
disposition of hazardous or contaminated materials, soils, or groundwater are part of the
project a waste characterization is required. Consult regional, state, and local
12
UFC 3-810-01N
1 March 2016
regulations for more stringent threshold levels. To determine whether a waste fails the
toxicity characteristic, perform a TCLP analysis on the waste. Note the TCLP analysis
differs from total constituent laboratory analysis; TCLP analysis is only for disposal
needs. However, total analysis may also be needed. Solid or nonhazardous waste
accumulation requirements can be found, if regulated, within state-specific regulations
and should follow industry standard.
2-14.1
Hazardous Waste Accumulation.
Require accumulation and storage of contaminated media and any debris according to
applicable requirements while awaiting transportation and disposal. Require
coordination with the Installation EV staff to determine what quantity may be stored onsite. Accumulate and manage any hazardous waste generated in accordance with 40
CFR 262, 40 CFR 264, and 40 CFR 265, Installation, state-specific and local
requirements, whichever are more stringent.
2-14.1.1
Hazardous Waste.
Federal regulations define waste as hazardous when it exhibits a hazardous
characteristic (such as ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity) as specified in 40
CFR 261, Subpart C, or when the waste contains a listed hazardous waste as identified
in 40 CFR 261, Subpart D. RCRA requires that solid wastes be properly characterized
at the point of generation. RCRA regulates “cradle to grave” control over hazardous
wastes. Request recycling and reuse of waste classified as hazardous, in accordance
with the requirements in 40 CFR 261.6.
Require treatment of hazardous wastes in accordance with 40 CFR 268. This section
identifies treatment standards for hazardous waste that must be met before waste may
be disposed (placed on the land). Follow the requirements of 40 CFR 262, 40 CFR
264, and 40 CFR 265 when accumulating hazardous waste onsite. Coordinate with the
Installation EV staff for generator status of the Installation and applicability, including
instances when an EPA identification (ID) number is required, accumulation
requirements regarding quantities and time allowed, inspections, required
documentation and labeling, reporting, training, and contingency planning. Table 2-1
identifies regulatory references that provide requirements for each of these. States may
have more stringent requirements than Federal regulations provide. Determine state
requirements for hazardous wastes prior to generation, characterization, classification,
and disposal to determine the most stringent requirement.

2-14.2
Conducting Field Investigations, Surveys, and Sampling– Solid and
Hazardous Waste.
Require a waste characterization study (including solid and liquids) before disposing of
potentially unknown hazardous or contaminated wastes. In order to determine if
anticipated construction waste (solid or liquid) is within regulatory limits for disposal and
ultimate disposition as a nonhazardous material, request the analysis of a
representative sample of the waste stream in accordance with Federal regulations using
the appropriate EPA analytical methods. Perform this sampling in accordance with
RCRA procedures, state, and local regulations and with EPA and state guidelines for
avoiding exposure to human health and the environment. Establish a health and safety
program to be followed during the sample collection process, select the statistical
method to be followed, and set a quality control procedure for the data collection in
accordance with EPA 530-D-02-002. Collect a representative sample of the anticipated
waste stream; it may be necessary to collect subsamples of various materials to collect
an accurate heterogeneous waste stream sample. To accomplish the analysis of a
heterogeneous waste stream, collect a composite sample that can be analyzed in
accordance with Federal regulations, EPA protocols, and ASTM Standards. The
representative composite sample should be prepared from samples of each of the
different building material categories, and then mixed in proportion to the percentage by
weight of the different components in the anticipated waste stream. Patch and repair
sample locations with suitable materials. Consult a qualified laboratory for required
sample quantities to obtain accurate analysis. Should other sampling methodologies be
used, request coordination with onsite personnel before sample collection and analysis.
2-14.3
Laboratory – Solid and Hazardous Waste.

of Historic Places (NRHP). The primary agency for enforcement of NHPA is the State
Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). Federal agencies must comply with Section 106
of the NHPA by adherence to the regulations found at 36 CFR 800. The Native
American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 (NAGPRA); 43 CFR 10
provides a process for Federal agencies and museums to return certain Native
American cultural items -- human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, or objects
of cultural patrimony -- to lineal descendants and culturally affiliated Indian tribes.
NAGPRA includes provisions for unclaimed and culturally unidentifiable Native
American cultural items, intentional and inadvertent discovery of Native American
cultural items on Federal and tribal lands, and penalties for noncompliance and illegal
trafficking. NAGPRA outlines the treatment, repatriation, and disposition of such
resources and ensures consultation with associated tribes or lineal descendants.

CHLORDANE.
These requirements apply to sites and projects where existing building(s) or structure(s)
will be renovated, altered, repaired, or demolished as part of the scope of work. These
requirements do not apply to new construction where no existing buildings or structures
are present. Specification preparation must comply with the applicable requirements of
40 CFR 260 – 40 CFR 270, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
2-16.1
Conducting Field Investigations, Surveys – Chlordane.
Prior to demolition of structures, it may be necessary to determine if chlordane was
used to prevent termites. If adequate pesticide application records exist, it may be
possible to confirm or rule out the use of chlordane or similar products. If adequate
records do not exist, sample the soil around the foundation of a building scheduled for
demolition. Chlordane was typically applied in a swath approximately 12-18 inches (300
to 450 mm) below the surface of the ground and approximately 12-18 inches (300 to
450 mm) away from the foundation. It may also have been injected through boreholes
into the subsurface soil under concrete slab foundations. Sampling and analysis of the
soil may be necessary along the foundation of suspect buildings.
20
UFC 3-810-01N
1 March 2016
2-16.2
Laboratory – Chlordane.
Laboratories performing analysis for chlordane in soil must be fully equipped and
proficient in conducting analyses according to RCRA and SW-846, and accredited by
the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and National Voluntary
Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP).
2-16.3
Control of Chlordane.
Chlordane is very stable and does not readily degrade or migrate in the environment. It
is highly insoluble in water and if left undisturbed it will continue to serve its intended
purpose for many years. Properly applied chlordane tends to only become a problem
when disturbed, as in building demolition. Under RCRA regulations, as long as the soil
remains undisturbed chlordane does not present a regulatory issue. It may even be
acceptable to excavate chlordane contaminated soil to remove the foundation and place
the soil back in the excavation site provided there is not subsequent disturbance or

APPENDIX B BEST PRACTICES
The best practices detailed herein apply to all sites and each project should be
evaluated individually (if they are governed by regulation then they are a requirement
and not a best practice). Neglecting to address the items listed below may result in
unnecessary exposure to human health and the environment, changes in the project
scope and be potentially subject the Government to regulatory notice of violations.
B-1
ASBESTOS.
RACM are commonly found in building materials and related products. Asbestoscontaining products are available today and are often used in the form of tars, sealants,
caulks, coatings, insulation, and roofing materials.
B-2
LEAD BASED PAINT IN TARGET HOUSING AND CHILDOCCUPIED FACILITIES.
When dealing with target housing and child-occupied facilities, lead-based paint is
defined by EPA and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as
any paint, varnish, shellac, or other coating that contains lead equal to or greater than
1.0 milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2) as measured by XRF analyzer or
laboratory analysis, or 0.5 percent by weight as measured by laboratory analysis. This
is not the OSHA definition of lead-containing paint.
A child-occupied facility is defined as a building, or portion of a building, constructed
prior to 1978, visited regularly by the same child (6 years of age or younger) on at least
two different days within any week (Sunday through Saturday period), provided that
each day’s visit lasts at least 3 hours, the combined weekly visits last at least 6 hours,
and the combined annual visits last at least 60 hours.
B-3
PAINT – LEAD, CADMIUM, CHROMIUM, AND OTHER
HAZARDOUS METALS.
Many painted surfaces contain lead, cadmium, chromium, and other hazardous metals
that may be regulated by the RCRA when these coated surfaces are disturbed by
renovation, alteration, repair, or demolitions activities. These coatings are commonly
found in buildings and steel structures, and on fuel piping and on every type of surface
that can be painted or coated. Thresholds, exposures, and engineering controls for
paint containing lead, cadmium, chromium, or other hazardous metals differ depending
on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, whether or not these paints are used
in operational processes, are painted surfaces of building components or exterior
coatings, and are disturbed during construction activities. When investigation,
sampling, renovation or demolition occurs, there are hazards associated with the
generation of dust, debris, and fumes. The OSHA Standards cite requirements for work
activities that can create an unsafe condition with regards to worker protection. These
include, but are not limited to manual demolition, paint scraping, heat-gun applications,
power tooling with dust collection, power tooling without dust collection, rivet busting,
41
UFC 3-810-01N
1 March 2016
cleanup activities with dry abrasives, movement or removal of enclosures, abrasive
blasting, welding, cutting, and burning on steel structures.
B-4
RADON.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is a byproduct of naturally decaying
uranium. The amount of uranium beneath the earth’s surface varies greatly with
geographic location and soil type. As the uranium decays below a building surface, it
creates a radon gas that may penetrate through cracks and openings in the building’s
foundation or basement. Buildings that have a tight shell have increased chances for
radon being trapped within the structure.
B-5
POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS.
Polychlorinated biphenyls are commonly referred to as PCB or PCBs are a group of
toxic substances with chlorinated compounds that are either oily liquids or solids. PCB
are typically colorless or light yellow. Some common PCB manufacturer product trade
names are as follows: Apirolio, Aroclor, Asbestol, Bakola 131, Chlorextol, Clophen,
Inerteen, Kanechlor, No-Flamol, Pyralene, Pyranol, Saf-T- Kuhl and Sovol. PCB were
used for many years in electrical equipment as coolants and lubricants because they
are good insulators that tend not to burn. The EPA banned the manufacturing of PCB in
1977 and regulated PCB as a toxic substance under the Toxic Substance Control Act
(TSCA). Current PCB regulations can be found in 40 CFR 761.
Products manufactured prior to 1977 that may contain PCB include light ballasts,
transformers, capacitors, heat transfer fluids, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, compressor oil,
paints, plastics, asphalt roofing materials, paints, and caulk.
B-6
ANIMAL DROPPINGS.
B-6.1
Histoplasmosis.
Histoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by inhaling the spores of a fungus called
Histoplasma capulatum. The fungus is most associated with bird manure or bat
droppings. The organism can be carried on the wings, feet, and beaks of birds and
infected soil under roosting sites or manure accumulations inside or outside buildings.
The fungus also grows in soils with high nitrogen content, especially those enriched with
bird manure or bat droppings. Histoplasmosis is most commonly transmitted when the
spores become airborne, often during cleanup or demolition projects. Areas with an
increased number of infections are located in central and eastern states, along the
valleys of the Ohio, Mississippi, and St. Lawrence Rivers and the Rio Grande.
B-6.2
Hantavirus.
Hantavirus is carried by rodents, especially mice and rats. The virus is found in their
urine, droppings, and saliva. Potential sites where people may be exposed to the virus
are outbuildings or sheds located in forests and fields that offer a suitable habitat for the
virus’s rodent hosts. The virus is mainly transmitted to people when they breathe in air
42
UFC 3-810-01N
1 March 2016
contaminated with the virus. When fresh rodent urine, droppings, or nesting materials
are stirred up, tiny droplets containing the virus get into the air.
B-7
MOLDS AND SPORES.
Thousands of different types or species of fungi or "molds" are normally present in the
environment, and many can grow within a building and cause occupants and workers
discomfort or harm. Some fungi are toxic (that is, they secrete mycotoxins, which are
harmful if inhaled or ingested), and many can cause allergic reactions of various types
in susceptible people. Internal infections can also be caused by fungi, but are rare in
people with normal immune systems. Fungi are commonly found in buildings that have
flooding or long-term water damage from broken pipes, roof leaks, sewage backups,
poor drainage, condensation, or inadequate HVAC system design. Because leaks can
occur inside walls, in crawl spaces, in ventilation systems, or in enclosed ceiling areas,
they may not be visible to the occupants.
B-8
STORAGE TANKS.
The majority of AST or UST contain petroleum products or other hazardous substances.
Until the mid-1980s, most UST were made of bare steel that could corrode over time
and allow the contents to leak into the surrounding soils and groundwater, causing harm
to the environment and human health. Similar conditions are associated with AST.
B-9
CONTAMINATED SOIL OR GROUNDWATER.
There are instances where construction will occur on sites that are known to have
contaminated soil or groundwater. The area could also be classified as a “past
hazardous waste site” or “Installation Restoration” (IR) site. IR is a comprehensive
program to identify, investigate, and clean up hazardous substances, pollutants, and
contaminants at Installations. Sites include those contaminated by past defense
activities that require clean up under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act as amended by Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act, and certain corrective actions required by RCRA.
B-10
SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE.
Solid waste is defined as a solid, liquid, semi-solid, or contained gaseous waste. A solid
waste may be a hazardous waste or a nonhazardous waste.
B-10.1
Nonhazardous Waste.
Nonhazardous waste is solid waste that does not meet the RCRA or state criteria for
hazardous waste. Nonhazardous wastes are regulated for disposal and may contain
toxic chemicals or physically hazardous components. Some materials may be assumed
nonhazardous because of the nature of the waste and the waste generation process.
Examples include petroleum-contaminated soil and C&D debris.
Nonhazardous waste is a broad category that includes a range of materials with various
management requirements. Nonhazardous wastes are generally regulated under state
43
UFC 3-810-01N
1 March 2016
solid waste regulations. Some states call nonhazardous waste solid waste, special
waste, industrial waste, or non-RCRA regulated waste. Review state solid waste
regulations and determine state specific definitions. Nonhazardous waste
classifications include waste that is excluded from, or does not meet, hazardous waste
criteria, waste containing contaminants at concentrations less than hazardous waste
thresholds (for example, ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity), or wastes that are
prohibited from being disposed of at a subtitle D municipal solid waste landfill.
Nonhazardous waste may consist of contaminated environmental media, debris, or
wastes. These wastes generally have less stringent storage, transport, and disposal
requirements than hazardous wastes. Consider managing these wastes through waste
minimization, reuse or recycling, and cost control.
B-10.2
Universal Waste.
Prior to demolition, facility should be cleared of any potential universal wastes,
specifically fluorescent lamps and mercury containing electrical equipment such as
thermostats or switches. EPA universal waste regulations streamline hazardous waste
management standards for federally designated "universal wastes," which include:
•
Batteries: “Battery” means a device consisting of one or more electrically
connected electrochemical cells that are designed to receive, store, and deliver
electric energy. An electrochemical cell is a system consisting of an anode,
cathode, and an electrolyte, plus such connections (electrical and mechanical) as
may be needed to allow the cell to deliver or receive electrical energy. The term
battery also includes an intact, unbroken battery from which the electrolyte has
been removed.
•
Pesticides: “Pesticide” means any substance or mixture of substances intended
for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest, or intended for use as
a plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant, other than any article that:
o Is a new animal drug under Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA)
section 201(w), or
o Is an animal drug that has been determined by regulation of the Secretary of
Health and Human Services not to be a new animal drug, or
o Is an animal feed under FFDCA section 201(x) that bears or contains any
substances described by the paragraphs above.
•
Mercury-containing equipment: “Mercury-containing equipment” means a device
or part of a device (including thermostats, but excluding batteries and lamps) that
contains elemental mercury integral to its function.
•
Lamps: A “lamp” is the bulb or tube portion of an electrical lighting device that
may contain hazardous materials such as mercury or lead. Examples of
common types of lamps containing hazardous materials include fluorescent,
44
UFC 3-810-01N
1 March 2016
high-intensity discharge (HID), neon, mercury vapor, high-pressure sodium, and
metal halide. Many lighting companies produce "low-level" mercury-containing
lamps and claim they do not constitute a hazardous waste for disposal. In
accordance with Federal law, the generator must prove that the lamps are
nonhazardous if they choose to manage and dispose of them as such. Testing
of the lamps may be performed if it will result in a cost-saving solution.
Otherwise, consider the lamps as hazardous, and properly manage and dispose
them. The ultimate responsibility lies in the waste generator to determine the
proper management and disposal of this waste.
B-10.3
Used Oil.
Used oil is any petroleum-based or synthetic fluid that has been used and is regulated
under 40 CFR 279. During normal use, impurities such as dirt, metal scrapings, water,
or chemicals may get mixed in with the oil, so that in time, the oil no longer performs
well. Eventually, this used oil is replaced with virgin or re-refined oil to perform
correctly. To meet EPA's definition of used oil, a substance must meet three criteria:
Origin: The first criterion for identifying used oil is based on the origin of the oil. Used
oil must have been refined from crude oil or made from synthetic materials. Animal and
vegetable oils are excluded from EPA's definition of used oil.
Use: The second criterion is based on whether and how the oil is used. Oils used as
lubricants, hydraulic fluids, heat transfer fluids, buoyants, and for other similar purposes
are considered used oil. Unused oil such as bottom clean-out waste from virgin fuel oil
storage tanks or virgin fuel oil recovered from a spill, do not meet EPA's definition of
used oil because these oils have never been "used." EPA's definition also excludes
products used as cleaning agents or solely for their solvent properties, as well as certain
petroleum-derived products like antifreeze and kerosene.
Contaminants: The third criterion is based on whether or not the oil is contaminated
with either physical or chemical impurities during use. In other words, to meet EPA's
definition, used oil must become contaminated as a result of being used. This aspect of
EPA's definition includes residues and contaminants generated from handling, storing,
and processing used oil. Physical contaminants could include metal shavings, sawdust,
or dirt. Chemical contaminants could include solvents, halogens, or saltwater.
B-11
CULTURAL RESOURCES.
The term “cultural resources” includes archaeological sites, Native American and other
traditional cultural resources, historic buildings and structures, significant objects,
planned landscapes, and historic districts. The term “historic properties” is a technical
term from the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) to denote properties
that have recognized public significance. The NHPA, 54 United States Code U.S.C.
300101 et seq., is one of the primary Federal statutes designed to protect cultural
resources. The implementing regulation for NHPA is the Protection of Historic
Properties; 36 CFR 800. Historic properties are defined in 36 CFR 800.16 as places
listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). These
45
UFC 3-810-01N
1 March 2016
properties may include districts, sites, buildings, structures, objects, and landscapes
significant in American history, prehistory, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and
culture. They include properties that belong to the prehistoric era as well as the historic
era. Generally, properties must be at least 50 years of age to be eligible for the NRHP,
unless they are proven to have exceptional importance. The NHPA also provides for
consultation with Native American groups when a proposed project might affect cultural
or traditional places or resources that have value to a Native American tribal group
derived from the role the property plays in the community’s historically rooted beliefs,
customs, and practices.
B-11.1
Archaeology.
The Archaeological Resource Protection Act of 1979 recognizes that archaeological
resources are an irreplaceable component of the heritage of the United States.
Prehistoric archaeological resources are physical properties resulting from human
activities that predate written records and generally are identified as isolated finds or
sites. Prehistoric resources may include areas such as village sites, temporary camps,
lithic scatters, roasting pits or hearths, milling features, petroglyphs, rock features, and
burial sites. Historic archaeological site types, which result from human activities that
occurred after European settlement, include town sites, homesteads, agricultural or
ranching features, mining-related features, refuse concentrations, and features or
artifacts associated with early military use of the land.
B-11.2
Architectural.
Historic architectural resources include fabricated, aboveground resources resulting
from human activities that occurred after European settlement. These resources may
include buildings such as houses, churches, barns, and lighthouses; early military
buildings such as hangars, administration buildings, barracks, officers’ quarters,
warehouses, and guardhouses; and structures such as roads, bridges, and culverts.
B-12
CHLORDANE.
Chlordane was used extensively as an insecticide in the United States. It was sold from
1948 to 1988, both as a dust and an emulsified solution. The most common use of
chlordane was for termite control. It was poured or injected around foundations to
protect homes and buildings from termite damage. Its use was especially high in areas
where termites caused structural damage, such as the southern U.S. Though banned
for use on crops by 1978, its use for protection of buildings continued for another 10
years. In 1988, all commercial and domestic use of chlordane in the U.S. was banned
by the EPA. Chlordane, heptachlor, and similar products can be expected to be found
around the foundation of wooden (and possibly other) structures constructed prior to
1988. It is linked to various health effects on humans. Chlordane and similar products
may still be in use in other countries.
